Local truck driver recognized for 52 years of safe driving

Don L. Peters, of Saratoga, has been recognized by the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) for 52 years of safe, accident-free driving of a commercial tractor-trailer.

The OOIDA Safe Driving Award Program is sponsored by Shell Rotella and is designed to recognize and reward OOIDA members for their safe, accident-free years while operating a commercial vehicle. Safe driving awards are available to all eligible OOIDA members who qualify based upon the number of years for which the member has operated a commercial vehicle without being involved in a preventable accident.
